What the study found

Who was studied 2,390 African American cases, 4,100 African American controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q22.2 — between genes, 17.5 kb from RGS22.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Lung cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Lung cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Lung cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs181801863

What is rs181801863?

rs181801863 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RGS22 gene. Published research associates it with lung cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs181801863 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Lung Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs181801863 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs181801863 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2025, PMID:40829600. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
